At the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar, you may have noticed this strange scene at the beginning of each game. As the soccer players line up ready to walk onto the field they take the hand of a smiling and excited child next to them and walk out with them hand in hand.
The practice of sending children out with the players first took place from time to time throughout the 1990s. One child, also called a player escort, would accompany a team out at the beginning of an important game. From the year 2000 onwards, this custom started happening much more regularly. The 2000 Euro Championships was one of the first major soccer games where children were seen walking out with the players. But it was the 2002 FIFA World Cup where it really became popular. One of the most prominent ways this happened was by pairing up each player with a child as they walked out onto the soccer field. You can see it at the beginning of most important football games. From then on, it has become commonplace around the world for children to walk out with the players.
Ultimately soccer players walk out with a child because their club requires them to. It is in the interest of the soccer club to do this as it has potential benefits for both the child and the honor of the club. Soccer is a game that is loved by children throughout the world. Many would jump at the chance to have a taste of a real game in person. It’s also a chance for soccer club to make money. Most clubs have some sort of program where it’s possible to buy the experience of being a player escort. In England, it can be extremely expensive. A few years ago it was reported that some clubs were charging almost $800 per child to be a player escort!
4. Why did the writer mention the strange scene in the World Cup
A. To draw readers’ interest.
B. To appreciate the children.
C. To show the charm of football players.
D. To stress the importance of the World Cup.
5. What does the second paragraph mainly deal with about the practice
A. Its popularity. B. Its successes.
C. Its hardships. D. Its development.
6. Which is closest in meaning to “prominent” in Paragraph 2
A. Effective. B. Noticeable. C. Proper. D. Difficult.
7. How does the practice benefit the player escorts
A. They can make much money.
B. They can gain great potential chance to be famous.
C. They are more likely to be chosen by their favorite clubs.
D. They are lucky enough to experience a real game by themselves.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of young milkweed so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1000 baby milkweed plants to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because ifs the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows wetland milkweed. It is far less controllable than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in U.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute. Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that.” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbors. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad, Nick Burchill. ‘‘Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
8. What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies
A. Her monarch project. B. Her aunt’s suggestion.
C. Her research on the butterflies. D. Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
9. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Selling milkweed becomes a profitable business.
B. Milkweed baby plants grow very quickly in spring.
C. The project is widely welcomed by the local people.
D. Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed.
10. Why does Burchill plant wetland milkweed
A. It provides the butterfly with enough water. B. It is much safer than common milkweed.
C It is encouraged by the U.S. government. D. It grows everywhere in her hometown.
11. What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
D
Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under 17 -but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Older people have difficulty using social media.
B. Children spend more time with their grandparents.
C. More and more elderlies begin to use social media.
D. Social media have become more friendly to the elderly.
13. How does Sheila feel about social media
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
14. What can be concluded from the passage
A. People tend to have less social life as they get older.
B. Young people are getting away from their smartphone.
C. More young people choose to meet their friends in person.
D. Social media actually help old people to meet their friends.
15. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Different Online Habits Across Generations B. The Good Old Days Without Smartphones
C. The Next Generation of Social Media D. The Use of Smartphones at School

The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018.
He was hiking behind his ranch (牧场) in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US-Mexico border, when he found a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he would pick up something useless and throw it away.
That’s when he noticed the balloon was connected to a piece of paper. ‘Dayami’, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Turning the paper over, he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. “My Spanish isn’t very good, but I could see it was a Christmas,” he said.
Heiss was attracted. He thought that maybe a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the kid who had sent this one.
It would be difficult, but he believed he could work it out. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. “Based on the prevailing wind (盛行风), I was pretty sure that’s where it came from,” he said.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is good at Spanish and helped him translate the list. The elderly couple figured out that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and some art supplies.
Heiss then posted on social media along with some photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no useful information provided; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2018, he decided to send a message to Radio XENY, a radio station based in Nogales.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away.

Arriving at the Radio XENY offices with presents, the elderly couple finally met the excited little girl.

At the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar, you may have noticed this strange scene at the beginning of each game. As the soccer players line up ready to walk onto the field they take the hand of a smiling and excited child next to them and walk out with them hand in hand.
The practice of sending children out with the players first took place from time to time throughout the 1990s. One child, also called a player escort, would accompany a team out at the beginning of an important game. From the year 2000 onwards, this custom started happening much more regularly. The 2000 Euro Championships was one of the first major soccer games where children were seen walking out with the players. But it was the 2002 FIFA World Cup where it really became popular. One of the most prominent ways this happened was by pairing up each player with a child as they walked out onto the soccer field. You can see it at the beginning of most important football games. From then on, it has become commonplace around the world for children to walk out with the players.
Ultimately soccer players walk out with a child because their club requires them to. It is in the interest of the soccer club to do this as it has potential benefits for both the child and the honor of the club. Soccer is a game that is loved by children throughout the world. Many would jump at the chance to have a taste of a real game in person. It’s also a chance for soccer club to make money. Most clubs have some sort of program where it’s possible to buy the experience of being a player escort. In England, it can be extremely expensive. A few years ago it was reported that some clubs were charging almost $800 per child to be a player escort!
4. Why did the writer mention the strange scene in the World Cup

C. To show the charm of football players.
D. To stress the importance of the World Cup.
5. What does the second paragraph mainly deal with about the practice

C. Its hardships. D. Its development.
6. Which is closest in meaning to “prominent” in Paragraph 2

7. How does the practice benefit the player escorts

B. They can gain great potential chance to be famous.
C. They are more likely to be chosen by their favorite clubs.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of young milkweed so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,000 baby milkweed plants to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because ifs the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows wetland milkweed. It is far less controllable than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in U.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute. Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that.” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbors. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad, Nick Burchill. ‘‘Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
8. What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies
A. Her monarch project. B. Her aunt’s suggestion.
C. Her research on the butterflies. D. Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
9. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Selling milkweed becomes a profitable business.
B. Milkweed baby plants grow very quickly in spring.
C. The project is widely welcomed by the local people.
D. Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed.
10. Why does Burchill plant wetland milkweed
A. It provides the butterfly with enough water. B. It is much safer than common milkweed.
C. It is encouraged by the U.S. government. D. It grows everywhere in her hometown.
11. What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad, Nick Burchill. ‘‘Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”(“我们为她感到骄傲，她很专注，”她的父亲Nick Burchill说。“希望这将为帝王蝶创造一条良好的道路。”)”可推知，Burchill的父亲对她的行为持支持态度。故选A。

Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under 17 -but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Older people have difficulty using social media.
B. Children spend more time with their grandparents.
C. More and more elderlies begin to use social media.
D. Social media have become more friendly to the elderly.
13. How does Sheila feel about social media
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
14. What can be concluded from the passage
A. People tend to have less social life as they get older.
B. Young people are getting away from their smartphone.
C. More young people choose to meet their friends in person.
D. Social media actually help old people to meet their friends.
15. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Different Online Habits Across Generations B. The Good Old Days Without Smartphones
C. The Next Generation of Social Media D. The Use of Smartphones at School
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. “We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”(另一方面，希拉和学校里的老朋友取得了联系，她已经40年没有联系了。她说：“我们用Facebook在全国各地安排见面。这完全改变了我的社交生活。”)”可推知，社交媒体实际上帮助老年人认识他们的朋友。故选D。

【16题详解】
根据上文“You’ve made friends since childhood.(你从小就有很多朋友)”以及后文“Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.(这里有一些迹象可以告诉你，你的朋友是否是真正的朋友)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出不知道谁是真正的朋友，引出后文的方法。故C选项“然而，你可能仍然不知道谁是你真正的朋友”符合语境，故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018.
He was hiking behind his ranch (牧场) in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US-Mexico border, when he found a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he would pick up something useless and throw it away.
That’s when he noticed the balloon was connected to a piece of paper. ‘Dayami’, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Turning the paper over, he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. “My Spanish isn’t very good, but I could see it was a Christmas,” he said.
Heiss was attracted. He thought that maybe a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the kid who had sent this one.
It would be difficult, but he believed he could work it out. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. “Based on the prevailing wind (盛行风), I was pretty sure that’s where it came from,” he said.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is good at Spanish and helped him translate the list. The elderly couple figured out that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and some art supplies.
Heiss then posted on social media along with some photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no useful information provided; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2018, he decided to send a message to Radio XENY, a radio station based in Nogales.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away.

Arriving at the Radio XENY offices with presents, the elderly couple finally met the excited little girl.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away. They brought good news that they had located the eight-year-old girl, Dayami, and her family. He felt so happy and excited that he wanted to see the little girl at once. He went shopping with his wife. In order to buy all the presents on the list, they went to many places. With their efforts, they bought everything on Dayami’s list. Thinking of the happiness of the girl, they were very tired, but very happy.
Arriving at the Radio XENY offices with presents, the elderly couple finally met the excited little girl. Heiss gave the presents to the girl and said, “Merry Christmas!” The little girl received the presents in surprise and hugged Heiss tightly. With a bright smile on her face, she said, “Thank you, Santa Claus.” “We now have friends for life,” Heiss said. Since then, he and the girl’s family have become friends. Although they don’t see each other often, they send presents to each other every Christmas.
